Tha t star left halfback out on the field in fro nt
o f you gets most o f the newspap er space, b u t stop
and cons ider for a moment wha t ma kes those d az­zling,
twis ting runs of the backfield sta r possible.
On e ve ry play, the man carry ing the ball needs
help. A nd it's the seven men in the front l ine
trenches who have to give tl}e fla shy back tha t
needed a id. Obse rve for two or three minutes how
those unwreathed heroes in the first r a nks pave the
way for the next s lice off ta c kl e.
Good linemen r eally have a bit of the magician
in them. For it's up to them to deceive, if possible,
the opposition on every move. An inexperienced
lineman may give the pla y away by continually
glancing in the direction he's going to take, by
slightly turning his body, by the positions of his
hands, and even by the wa y he shifts his feel. A
clever scout will notice such actions and tip off
his team. Reversing the strategy. a clever lines·
man sometimes intentionally makes a false move to
deceive the opposing eleven.
When on the offense, the skilled lineman must
be able to effectively block out his opposition. To
do this he must be an expert on the head and shoul­der
block, the body block and the roll block. In
the latter, the player throws his body against the
would-be tackler above the knees, and rolls down·
ward so as to take the defensive player off his feet .
Often a lineman has to pla y a double role. When
his teammate pulls out of the line to form inte r·
fe rence for the ball-carrier, the lineman has to
handle two of the opposition players. To do this
he has to be a master at the cross-body block.
On the defensive side, every lineman worth his
salt is plotting to a-et across the line of scrimmage
so that he may nail the man with the ball. Nor·
mally the opposing player thwarts his plan. If he
does get clear, he finds it a man-sized task to stop
t he progress of the zigzagging pigskin carrier. The
tackler has to keep his eyes open and fixed on the
runner and on the spot he intends to hit. If he is
well schooled, he will first aim his head at the ball
carrier" s waist.
When contact is made, he drives his legs for·
ward in quick, short steps. With head and shoul-
3
dera lodged against the runner's body,, he com·
pletes his j ob by locking a rms a r ound the runner's
legs and g iving a quick u pwa rd p ull. And it isn't
as easy as it looks.
Yes, it's gene ra lly t rue, the star makes the points
and linemen ma ke the s ta r.

IT TAKES BRAINS AS
WELL AS BRAWN
The whistle blows. The teams line up.
Out there on the field in front of you, it's
an alliance of brains and brawn trying to
take the ball through the other team's line.
One of those eleven men is calling the sig­nals,
trying his best to outwit the opposition.
Watch that player, for generally he's the
quarterback.
For many of us, a quarterback's best qual­ification
is a pair of lusty lungs with which
to bark out signals. A quarterback with a
good voice can enthuse his team, but bark­ing
out numbers is the least of his duties.
Observe him closely.
Usually, he's the cocky individual who
pats his teammates on the back and tells
'em, ·The game isn · t over yet. Anything can
happen."
When the fans scream for action, the
quarterback often calls for conservative
plays. He has a reason for this. He may
not want to take chances on fumbling. Per­haps
his team is too deep in their own ter­ritory.
Maybe he wants to keep a 7-point
lead. Then his main idea is not to take
chances on a possible score, but to prevent
the losing team from making points. A rule
the smart quarterback usl.(ally follows is,
"Take chances only when you have nothing
to lose."
If the defensive line is spread out, the
quarterback calls for line plays. If the de­fense
is packed in tight, he will send wide
•
5
end runs. If he thinks the opponents are
ready for a line play, the clever field gen­eral
may call for a quick kick.
It is up to the quarterback to see weak­nesses
or openings that can't be seen from
the grandstand or from the sidelines. He
has to have a clear head to decide on which
plays seem to work and which are wasting
valuable downs. H e has to mix up his
plays and attempt to throw the opposing
line off balance.
Since he rarely carries the ball, the sig­nal-
caller must be a good blocker or be able
to run interference for his ball-carrying
teammate. On the defensive, the quarter­back
usually falls back into safety position.
As safety man, it is he who is the last
man between the offensive runner and the
goal line. Games have been won and lost
by the tackling of the safety man.
In the spirit of fair play, give the quarter­back
a "break" by not blaming him for
everything that looks like a boner. From
the grandstand, it's sometimes hard to un­derstand
why the star's number isn't called
more freely. The quarterback usually has a
good reason for it. Sometimes it's a better
offensive threat not to use the best ground­gainer
on every play. Or it might just hap­pen
that the "star" isn't doing so very well
this afternoon.
There goes the whistle again. Watch that
quarterback.

Watching the defense is almost as inter­esting
and enlightening as watching the at­tack.
The most orthodox forms of defensive
formations are: The seven-man line with a
"diamond'' formation in the backfield, the
fullback a few yards back of the line, the
halfbacks guarding the flat zones a little
deeper than the fullback, and the safety
man deeper still, depending upon the posi­t
ion on the field and the down and yards
to go; and the six-man line, which commonly
adds another fullback to the backfield.
Usually the center drops back to a defensive
fullback's position.
T earns expecting a fierce passing attack
may employ more defensive players in the
backfield, as in the "five-three-two-one" for­mation,
which designates the relative posi­tions
of the defenders from the line of
scrimmage down field. Typical backfield
formations in orthodox defense are the
"basket", "box", and "diamond".
A six-man line enables a defense to be
strong against passes; a seven-man line is
relatively weaker against passes, but 1s
stronger against running plays. In either of
these types of defense it is necessary to
cover up the weaknesses exposed.
While coaches and players strive to prac­tice
deception in attack, most defenses are
predicated upon fi lling certain definite as­signments
rather than attempting to outguess
the attack. A defensive end or tackle who
attempts to figure out what a set of whirl­ing
dervishes in the opposing backfield in­tend,
eventually, to do with the football, is
quite likely to be "side-swiped" by a block­er
he hasn't even seen. But if he attempts
merely to get across the scrimmage line and
let the play come to him when it develops,
he is quite likely to make a stop or, at the
least, throw a monkey wrench into the deli­cately
timed machinery.
The tackle, particularly the left tackle
(since most attacks are "right-handed"), is
well worth watching. Usually he has two
men, the opposing end and wingback,
"working on" him to take him out of the
play and to keep him out. If he is a good
tackle, they will not be particularly success­ful;
if he is a great tackle, they will not only
be unsuccessful, but he may break through
to stop the play.
It's only natural to watch the ball car­rier,
but the average spectator will have his
eyes opened by concentrating on the de­fense
for at least part of the game.

Are certain physical requisites necessary
for the player who hopes to hold down a
starting position on a football team?
The average person would answer,
ccy es"; but any football coach in the land
can point out examples of players who be­came
exceptional performers despite their
inability to measure up to normal weight
or stature. H owever, the same coach will
tell you that, generally speaking, candi­dates
for any position on the team do con­form
to general but very definite patterns.
For example, most coaches like 'ends
who are fast enough to get down under
punts, tall enough to catch passes and yet
rugged enough to turn in and spill inter­ference.
If they fulfill these requisites, it
doesn't matter much whether they weigh
I 7 5 pounds or 20 5 pounds.
The tackles should be the biggest men
on the line since they are the objects of
most offensive thrusts. Speed is also neces­sary
to lead the charge on offense and to
move across the line quickly. A cccoach's
dream" tackle would probably weigh
about 200 pounds and stand six feet two
inches tall. It is a long-accepted axiom
that a football team is as strong as its
tackles.
A heavy, rugged player of medium
height is the popular pattern for a guard.
He must take the terrific pounding aimed
at the center of the line and still have
enough speed and blocking ability to pull
out of the line to lead the interference.
16
I t would be foolish to cite a physical
pattern for the center. On the California
team of 1937, Bob Herwig stood six feet
four inches in height and weighed 2 I 5
pounds while five-foot nine-inch Dave
Queen performed the same duties the fol­lowing
year while weighing only I 66
pounds. H owever, the center must be
rugged and fast to perform his new duties
of backing up the line.
The quarterback is now the main block­er
in most major offensive systems and
must be fast and heavy. Most of the pres­ent-
day quarterbacks weight at least I 70
pounds :and are at least fi V'e feet nine
inches tall. It goes without saying that
any back must be rugged, a good pass de­fender,
and strong enough to take a con­stant
pounding.
Halfbacks are often the long, rangy,
agile type. They must be fast, rugged,
and heavy enough to block effectively on
offense and tackle sharply and guard
against passes on defense. Since one of
the halfbacks is ordinarily the ccclimax"
runner, he may be called upon to either
run, pass, kick, or block.
The all-around charactet· of the fullback
position requires weight, speed, and rug­gedness.
His duties of smashing the line,
backing up the line, blocking, etc., require
an exceptionally strong physique. Today's
fullback should weigh r 90 pounds or
more and be at least five feet ten inches
tall, although there are exceptions to this
rule.

Tha t star left halfback out on the field in fro nt
o f you gets most o f the newspap er space, b u t stop
and cons ider for a moment wha t ma kes those d az­zling,
twis ting runs of the backfield sta r possible.
On e ve ry play, the man carry ing the ball needs
help. A nd it's the seven men in the front l ine
trenches who have to give tl}e fla shy back tha t
needed a id. Obse rve for two or three minutes how
those unwreathed heroes in the first r a nks pave the
way for the next s lice off ta c kl e.
Good linemen r eally have a bit of the magician
in them. For it's up to them to deceive, if possible,
the opposition on every move. An inexperienced
lineman may give the pla y away by continually
glancing in the direction he's going to take, by
slightly turning his body, by the positions of his
hands, and even by the wa y he shifts his feel. A
clever scout will notice such actions and tip off
his team. Reversing the strategy. a clever lines·
man sometimes intentionally makes a false move to
deceive the opposing eleven.
When on the offense, the skilled lineman must
be able to effectively block out his opposition. To
do this he must be an expert on the head and shoul­der
block, the body block and the roll block. In
the latter, the player throws his body against the
would-be tackler above the knees, and rolls down·
ward so as to take the defensive player off his feet .
Often a lineman has to pla y a double role. When
his teammate pulls out of the line to form inte r·
fe rence for the ball-carrier, the lineman has to
handle two of the opposition players. To do this
he has to be a master at the cross-body block.
On the defensive side, every lineman worth his
salt is plotting to a-et across the line of scrimmage
so that he may nail the man with the ball. Nor·
mally the opposing player thwarts his plan. If he
does get clear, he finds it a man-sized task to stop
t he progress of the zigzagging pigskin carrier. The
tackler has to keep his eyes open and fixed on the
runner and on the spot he intends to hit. If he is
well schooled, he will first aim his head at the ball
carrier" s waist.
When contact is made, he drives his legs for·
ward in quick, short steps. With head and shoul-
3
dera lodged against the runner's body,, he com·
pletes his j ob by locking a rms a r ound the runner's
legs and g iving a quick u pwa rd p ull. And it isn't
as easy as it looks.
Yes, it's gene ra lly t rue, the star makes the points
and linemen ma ke the s ta r.

IT TAKES BRAINS AS
WELL AS BRAWN
The whistle blows. The teams line up.
Out there on the field in front of you, it's
an alliance of brains and brawn trying to
take the ball through the other team's line.
One of those eleven men is calling the sig­nals,
trying his best to outwit the opposition.
Watch that player, for generally he's the
quarterback.
For many of us, a quarterback's best qual­ification
is a pair of lusty lungs with which
to bark out signals. A quarterback with a
good voice can enthuse his team, but bark­ing
out numbers is the least of his duties.
Observe him closely.
Usually, he's the cocky individual who
pats his teammates on the back and tells
'em, ·The game isn · t over yet. Anything can
happen."
When the fans scream for action, the
quarterback often calls for conservative
plays. He has a reason for this. He may
not want to take chances on fumbling. Per­haps
his team is too deep in their own ter­ritory.
Maybe he wants to keep a 7-point
lead. Then his main idea is not to take
chances on a possible score, but to prevent
the losing team from making points. A rule
the smart quarterback usl.(ally follows is,
"Take chances only when you have nothing
to lose."
If the defensive line is spread out, the
quarterback calls for line plays. If the de­fense
is packed in tight, he will send wide
•
5
end runs. If he thinks the opponents are
ready for a line play, the clever field gen­eral
may call for a quick kick.
It is up to the quarterback to see weak­nesses
or openings that can't be seen from
the grandstand or from the sidelines. He
has to have a clear head to decide on which
plays seem to work and which are wasting
valuable downs. H e has to mix up his
plays and attempt to throw the opposing
line off balance.
Since he rarely carries the ball, the sig­nal-
caller must be a good blocker or be able
to run interference for his ball-carrying
teammate. On the defensive, the quarter­back
usually falls back into safety position.
As safety man, it is he who is the last
man between the offensive runner and the
goal line. Games have been won and lost
by the tackling of the safety man.
In the spirit of fair play, give the quarter­back
a "break" by not blaming him for
everything that looks like a boner. From
the grandstand, it's sometimes hard to un­derstand
why the star's number isn't called
more freely. The quarterback usually has a
good reason for it. Sometimes it's a better
offensive threat not to use the best ground­gainer
on every play. Or it might just hap­pen
that the "star" isn't doing so very well
this afternoon.
There goes the whistle again. Watch that
quarterback.

Watching the defense is almost as inter­esting
and enlightening as watching the at­tack.
The most orthodox forms of defensive
formations are: The seven-man line with a
"diamond'' formation in the backfield, the
fullback a few yards back of the line, the
halfbacks guarding the flat zones a little
deeper than the fullback, and the safety
man deeper still, depending upon the posi­t
ion on the field and the down and yards
to go; and the six-man line, which commonly
adds another fullback to the backfield.
Usually the center drops back to a defensive
fullback's position.
T earns expecting a fierce passing attack
may employ more defensive players in the
backfield, as in the "five-three-two-one" for­mation,
which designates the relative posi­tions
of the defenders from the line of
scrimmage down field. Typical backfield
formations in orthodox defense are the
"basket", "box", and "diamond".
A six-man line enables a defense to be
strong against passes; a seven-man line is
relatively weaker against passes, but 1s
stronger against running plays. In either of
these types of defense it is necessary to
cover up the weaknesses exposed.
While coaches and players strive to prac­tice
deception in attack, most defenses are
predicated upon fi lling certain definite as­signments
rather than attempting to outguess
the attack. A defensive end or tackle who
attempts to figure out what a set of whirl­ing
dervishes in the opposing backfield in­tend,
eventually, to do with the football, is
quite likely to be "side-swiped" by a block­er
he hasn't even seen. But if he attempts
merely to get across the scrimmage line and
let the play come to him when it develops,
he is quite likely to make a stop or, at the
least, throw a monkey wrench into the deli­cately
timed machinery.
The tackle, particularly the left tackle
(since most attacks are "right-handed"), is
well worth watching. Usually he has two
men, the opposing end and wingback,
"working on" him to take him out of the
play and to keep him out. If he is a good
tackle, they will not be particularly success­ful;
if he is a great tackle, they will not only
be unsuccessful, but he may break through
to stop the play.
It's only natural to watch the ball car­rier,
but the average spectator will have his
eyes opened by concentrating on the de­fense
for at least part of the game.

P~Be?
Are certain physical requisites necessary
for the player who hopes to hold down a
starting position on a football team?
The average person would answer,
ccy es"; but any football coach in the land
can point out examples of players who be­came
exceptional performers despite their
inability to measure up to normal weight
or stature. H owever, the same coach will
tell you that, generally speaking, candi­dates
for any position on the team do con­form
to general but very definite patterns.
For example, most coaches like 'ends
who are fast enough to get down under
punts, tall enough to catch passes and yet
rugged enough to turn in and spill inter­ference.
If they fulfill these requisites, it
doesn't matter much whether they weigh
I 7 5 pounds or 20 5 pounds.
The tackles should be the biggest men
on the line since they are the objects of
most offensive thrusts. Speed is also neces­sary
to lead the charge on offense and to
move across the line quickly. A cccoach's
dream" tackle would probably weigh
about 200 pounds and stand six feet two
inches tall. It is a long-accepted axiom
that a football team is as strong as its
tackles.
A heavy, rugged player of medium
height is the popular pattern for a guard.
He must take the terrific pounding aimed
at the center of the line and still have
enough speed and blocking ability to pull
out of the line to lead the interference.
16
I t would be foolish to cite a physical
pattern for the center. On the California
team of 1937, Bob Herwig stood six feet
four inches in height and weighed 2 I 5
pounds while five-foot nine-inch Dave
Queen performed the same duties the fol­lowing
year while weighing only I 66
pounds. H owever, the center must be
rugged and fast to perform his new duties
of backing up the line.
The quarterback is now the main block­er
in most major offensive systems and
must be fast and heavy. Most of the pres­ent-
day quarterbacks weight at least I 70
pounds :and are at least fi V'e feet nine
inches tall. It goes without saying that
any back must be rugged, a good pass de­fender,
and strong enough to take a con­stant
pounding.
Halfbacks are often the long, rangy,
agile type. They must be fast, rugged,
and heavy enough to block effectively on
offense and tackle sharply and guard
against passes on defense. Since one of
the halfbacks is ordinarily the ccclimax"
runner, he may be called upon to either
run, pass, kick, or block.
The all-around charactet· of the fullback
position requires weight, speed, and rug­gedness.
His duties of smashing the line,
backing up the line, blocking, etc., require
an exceptionally strong physique. Today's
fullback should weigh r 90 pounds or
more and be at least five feet ten inches
tall, although there are exceptions to this
rule.
